Press release by ICAEW – ICAEW is to take advantage of changes to insolvency licensing by offering partial licenses for insolvency practitioners. Bob Pinder, ICAEW Regional Director, said of the decision:

"As ICAEW is the UK’s largest insolvency regulator, ICAEW licensed practitioners gain a wealth of benefits and support. Now, through the introduction of partial licenses, those who wish to specialise in personal or corporate insolvency will be able to share those benefits. Insolvency firms who choose ICAEW as their single insolvency regulator will, therefore, ease the regulatory burden by dealing with only one regulatory professional body."

ICAEW will begin formally accepting applications from those wishing to obtain a partial licence on 1 July 2016,
